Sturmovik- sometimes called the *flying tank.* Stalin said they were as essential to the Red Army as bread.
Yep, Sturmovik is correct, Il-10 is correcter
Very cool planes though, flying tanks. The closest equivalent the Western Allies had (in my mind) were the Typhoons and Thunderbolts.
Imagine a Typhoon/Thunderbolt/Sturmovik squadron! That'd be the most awesome thing ever.

IL-2 was used during the*Patriotic War* where IL-10 was post, correct? IIRC both were known as the Sturmovik.
Edit: Ed's quicker today.

Yup, the IL-2 was used throughout WWII, the IL-10 had a little use at the end of WWII, in both Europe and Manchuria. North Korea had some during the Korean War as well.

No, sorry, though I can see why you'd say that.
